Russia and Ukraine

[modernite]

Russia doesn't have air superiority for the f16s to take.

Watch my previous video. Ukraine has Soviet era Su-27’s. These have almost no chance against more advanced Su-35’s etc. So if a Russian airplane is coming. They have to flee.
 
Of course they have Javelin rocket launchers + other air defense systems like the patriot missiles. But with a fleet of F-16’s + western provided missiles that go with it, they will be able to take on the Su-35’s and therefore (if I am understanding correctly) they will be able to hit more onto the Russian fortified defenses giving more chance to the Leo tanks to break through these defenses.
 
Also: I found this video of Bradley Infantry fighting vehicles destroying the Russian Armata tank (aided by a drone).

Modernite’s comment on pan-Slavism:
 
See the recent events in the Bashkir Region:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/17...hkortostan
 
Half of Russia’s population (perhaps more) are Turkic people (not Slavs).
 
This is why Russia is not a nation-state proper but a federation.
 
That’s the only thing it can be. It’s a multi-cultural federation in which the Russian ethnic group is the main element.           
 
This pushes some people to believe that it has to turn into an empire once again. My view is that the Democratic Federation model is the most logical model in the short and longer term.

Dugin’s assassination:
 
Every month or so someone is falling from a window, is found dead at the bottom of some stairs, has been poisoned with novatchev or something like that. That’s what happens when you have a spy for president.
 
And Historically: It reminds me of the East-Roman way of doing things. They also had these emperors found dead in the swimming pool, high officials found estranged in some places, Generals taking arms against Byzantium and then asserting themselves as the new emperor etc. (just as a note for those interested in ancient history )

There is also the topography of Ukraine. You can resist a stronger force if you have element like hills, dense forests or jungles and marshes from which you can carry out hit and run strikes.
 
Holding and stabilizing an opponent like Russia (that has tanks and airplanes) on the open field is not (militarily speaking) such an easy task.
 
So Ukrainians must be good and so is whatever military expertise it is that is backing them.

Where are you pulling your figures that half of people are turkic, instead slavic? Out of your butt? According to a 2021 census, atleast 81% of people in Russia are ethnic russians, who are slavic.
